Roblox Player crashes after varying duration, forcefully changing keyboard layout

I’ve been experiencing this issue for about a year. Every time I launch the application, assets take a while to load and the wait ultimately results into a long freeze followed by the crashing of the client, which also causes my keyboard’s layout to switch to QWERTY for Roblox Player alone until I reboot my computer.
I use an AZERTY keyboard since I’m from France, so you can see how this can be frustrating. I’ve tried reinstalling the client, clearing the cache, switching the layout around with Ctrl + Shift, but rebooting still seems to be the only solution to this problem. This does not affect any text input either.
There were some rare occurrences when joining certain games would fix the keyboard layout, however it could crash again later still.
It seems taking a long time (usually a few hours) before launching the client can help prevent it from crashing, and once it crashes once it rarely crashes again before rebooting.

i dont know much about the inner-workings of roblox but i can try my best.

do you have anything interacting with the roblox client? ex: shaders, custom launcher

make sure you dont have anything malicous on your device.

is it exclusive to that device only? does it break on other devices in your household?

as a last resort you can try factory reseting your device to see if that works (as said, last resort option)

I do use Fishstrap/Bloxstrap, but I tried deleting it in the past and it yielded the same results.
Nothing happens on other devices in my household.
I’ll see about the other options.
